Northeastern poultry congress, it was January 19th and 20th in Springfield, MAwhats the congress?
I read these..thanks..not one says they are toxic and birds have gotten ill from eating them. One article does state some bugs have bright red wings when they become toxic and that lets birds know not to eat them. Birds are smart. I appreciate the extra knowledge. Thank you very much.

I don't know where you read that but I sure would be interested in reading it. I love to learn new things. Most guinea fowl are use specifically for bug population. I have never had a guinea become ill from eating bugs, nor know of any guinea owners who have had there flock become ill from bug consumption.
Speaking of bugs...do you think guineas would eat stink bugs? I'll be thrilled if so!I'll second that ! Guineas know what they can eat, and they will get rid of the bugs. So will wrens, which is why I have 3 families nesting in my coops. They get dusted right along with the Orps too. Last summer everybody had terrible fowl pox. None here ! My little bug eaters were at work.
Hi, I'd love to go to that show but we are not NPIP yet. May I ask where you got your birds tested?I'm entering my first poultry show!!! I have the entry envelope all set, just needs a stamp! e We'll be going to the CT Poultry Breeders Society show in Haddam Neck. Anyone else here going? These two will be the ones going. Both 8 months old now. Ace Ventura Molly (she was maybe 6 months old in this picture)
Wrens are friendly little birds who prefer to nest in close proximity to humans. I put up small baskets under the eaves for them all around my carriage house.I also have some wooden houses for them to nest in. I've had one family of wrens here for 23 years. On very cold nights there will be 8-10 wrens in one box in my garage, all sleeping together to keep warm. Morning comes, and they get busy eating bugs.How did you get wrens in your coop?
Really exciting!!
How exciting for you.. you should have a wonderful time and you have a couple nice entries there!I'm entering my first poultry show!!! I have the entry envelope all set, just needs a stamp!

You call your state department of agriculture. They should come out and test them for you. Mine was free but New York may not be. NH has a grant for it.Speaking of bugs...do you think guineas would eat stink bugs? I'll be thrilled if so!
